I also share the opinion of the fellow commentor and blame the price on the fact that RF front-ends require lots of RnD, often require high quality and precision components (outside the IC) AND on top of that there are testing and certification costs. All of this in just the RF front-end, we are not even talking about the implementation of the absurdly bloated wifi standars in software/silicon and testing and certification for them.
is there an easy solution for this? I recently found myself looking through old bookmarks from a long previous project and only about 1/3 worked and it made me sad.
The EU has borders
That's a great idea. I think there are pros/cons to both approaches. By having the AI adapt every question, in theory it would be more responsive and personalized. On the other hand it's a more clunky UI compared to traditional quizzes. Perhaps the key is to have "modes" where users can opt in depending on the type of experience they are looking for. I'll see what I can do :)
You are correct, I have edited my comment.

This is a great point. Most modern software is riddled with unnecessary complexity which adds mental load, forces you to learn new concepts that are equally complex or more complex than the logic which they claim to abstract away from.

I find myself saying this over and over again; if the abstraction does not bring the code closer to the business domain; if it does not make it easier for you to explain the code to a non-technical person, then it's a poor abstraction.

Inventing technical constructs which simply shift the focus away from other technical constructs adds no value at all. Usually such reframing of logic only serves the person who wrote 'the abstraction' to navigate their own biased mental models, it doesn't simplify the logic from the perspective of anyone else.
I get my apps from F-Droid, which guarantees that the apps are open source, free of most "unwanted features" (ie, not malware), and don't depend on google play APIs. Apps written to the F-Droid standard don't use Google Play APIs for notifications. I acknowledge that most people want to run closed source apps from the google play store, but I consider those apps untrustworthy, and what I do won't work for most people.

The specific privilege that MicroG wants and that GrapheneOS doesn't allow is the ability to spoof the signatures of other apps. GrapheneOS runs the Google Play APIs in a sandbox, and this sandbox allows push notifications to work, so that's not the problem with MicroG from a GrapheneOS perspective.
Nuclear war was and is a bigger threat. Climate change has been a threat for decades, before quitting became a pastime of the Americans and the West.

Wars and other localized dangers are much greater threats for people involved; WWII was a much greater threat to the West. Black people in the US have faced greater threats for most of American history.
I will say, you don't have to leave the city to know all kinds of people, but you do have to choose to meet all kinds of people. It's very easy to form a bubble in a city, where as with what you say in a small town you pretty much have to interact with a lot of the town or go live in a cave or something.

In case you needed any more proof that antivirus is nothing more than snakeoil.
Entirely disagree.
Oh yeah, that really sucks. I’ve had a bunch of apps deem my non-rooted, bootloader relocked phone too insecure for them to operate. Nothing critical for me, fortunately (though I do miss Google Pay).
A modest proposal: sell "streamer" licenses for a game that include audio/video watermarking features, or require an active internet connection and redisplay a sequence of numbers like a security key over the corner of the screen. Any footage without this would be taken down automatically.

Semiconductor fabrication was viewed as a commodified cost center until COVID related supply chain instability.

Furthermore, packaging and testing was largely outsourced and the domestic semiconductor industry imploded in the 2010s with IBM Micro and AMD's failures.

The same thing happened to Japan when they began offshoring Memory Fabrication to South Korea and Taiwan in the 1990s-2000s.

That said, from a NatSec perspective legacy processes (28nm, 48nm) and compound semiconductors would be much more critical (and a significant amount of funding has been devoted to that).

Free market doctrine, plus the investor class wanting to be able to reap the benefits of outsourcing without being concerned about strategic issues. Occasional proposals to this effect have historically been denounced as protectionism, industrial policy (practically socialism!) and 'picking winners and losers'. I am surprised you're unaware of this.
As a person making a lot of cross-border payments I disagree. In my reality paying people in other countries with crypto is much easier if they can accept it. Accepting is challenging but mostly because of regulations, not crypto itself.

Transparency is another important one.

One reason I dislike such digital ID schemes because I can't actually tell what information (or metadata) is being forked over. Even if it does purport to show me, I'm just supposed to trust what it says?

No thank you. A piece of paper provides a common format that's easy for both me and the official inspecting it to understand.
but that is not my problem

my passport has been through a washing machine accidentally and i can still present it in the remotest of countries no matter the internet or whatever, and it works

in the US, yes they are switching to face recognition and often they barely even look at the passport anymore. I enjoy the convenience of that, but i don't wish to share this data with all the countries in the world, nor to be on the hook for having a connected device everywhere in the world for basic movements.

Thanks Luc for the response, I have emailed Capchase support and they asked me to talk to bench.co I wasn't trying to publicly name you to shame you, but was looking for help in case someone knew where to point me. Hindsight I can see, should have probably left that out. The public page on Bench.co didn't have any contact or way to talk to anyone so I used the only contact I had. I do wish you the best in your next endeavors.
How so? You can use the exact same password manager for both.

> Sometimes, a lack of choices is a feature. (Compare e.g.: IPSec vs. Wireguard).

I'm pretty sure they're talking about rebooting the console system, not the entire car.

EVs are not computers, they have computers. The controllers that make it go should stay on during a "sudden reboot". Expecting them to keep working is like expecting my coolant pump to work during a reboot, not vim.
This tickles my sense of schadenfreude.

I'm beyond flabbergasted that people don't yet know the cost of alienating their truest believers with displays of rampant cynicism. To be clear I know nothing about this journal, but I do know that many companies are more eager than ever to see humans as replaceable with language models. Models don't have integrity though. They can slowly destroy your legacy but they won't build it like people will.
Musicians are already undercompensated. Spotify playing AI music means those musicians aren't compensated at all. Someone who funneled their music into an n-dimensional matrix gets the money, and how much do you want to bet that's Spotify?
Sorry but I disagree with the biased perspectives of PRofessor David Eppstein. He absolutely doesn't know what is actually happening on Wikipedia with certain clowns taking monopoly over the edits. I've seen good papers not being cited because they were never published! What does published mean? They are not getting into detail ... but place biased burden on the reader.
The bitcoin paper by Satoshi Nakamoto was NEVER PUBLISHED! IT would not have been citable as source on wikipedia as a result of clowns editing the sources.

Other good papers on ArXiv or even cited papers never published on specific venues other than crypto ArXiv are held back by very biased crank editors on wikipdia.
One of them is a clown called ... MrOllie
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:MrOllie

Who has been doing his fair share of introducing paid bias by certain third parties. I wonder if this is not one of the puppet accounts of David Eppstein.

Wikipedia as it has converged is nothing close to what the David Eppstein has outlined in the article he advertised. Sorry. Far cry.
I forget which programming talk I watched which pointed this out, but one extremely common example of this in Java is recreating subsets of the Collections API. I've done this before, heck even the Java standard library is guilty of this problem. When a class has a full set of get/put/has/remove methods, it is often not actually hiding the complexity of its component data structures.
WebAssembly Component Model: an architecture for interoperable Wasm libraries
Absolutely amazing work. I wonder what kind of funding / model could make something like this sustainable. Presumably, as manufacturing processes change, everything on this list has to be re-tested again? The current website has no way of crowd sourcing + verifying data, but that would maybe be a nice addition
Because the ESP can only barely do WiFi. You can get a couple of Mbps under ideal conditions. It is not a general purpose WiFi adapter, it's a low power IoT chip.

A general purpose WiFi adapter can do gigabit sustained connections over PCI or some other high speed interface. Entirely different class of chip.
You are wrong.

It improves the efficiency for the company at the expense of all of the people who spent time applying for something other than what was stated.

For example, you could not tell them that you would or would not hire them after a certain point in time -- which is something they will ask about and you will be unable to disclose, and so you'll wrap your lie in some vague language.

If these kinds of pipeline hirings were disclosed as such then your math would be correct. But, as stated, the purposeful information asymmetry (lying by another name) means that you are externalizing the uncertainty to the job-seeker.

You're making a trade-off, not getting a free lunch -- that trade-off is just at the expense of someone you are not legally obligated to expose this to.

It isn't nice.

(disclaimer: I've never done it, but I have talked to people who have; additionally I've never applied to a ghost/pipeline rec)
This is especially amusing to me given your choice of terminal.

> Not an option for businesses that need equipment.

On the flip side, it can often be the only option for businesses that need equipment. The US has a longstanding trend of hacking John Deere tractors to accept third-party servicing since John Deere's first-party offerings are both expensive and often unavailable.
Custom ROMs still exist, but have become a lot weaker in destinction than they used to.

In their "golden years" OEM Android distributions were just bad and came with inexcusable bloatware and restrictions. The main charm of Custom ROMs back then used to be that they were relatively cleaner. But now, with most Android phones coming with hardware powerful enough to make any impact of bloatware negligible, not to mention Android (and OEM iterations) itself having been converged into leaner, more efficient designs, the relative utility offered by Custom ROMs is fading fast.
> Also, effects mostly EVs, but not only. (If the EV motor was the group usually logged to the opened AWS bucket, I don't understand how there were ICE or possibly hybrid cars involved in the leak.)

I can't parse this. Is there a missing word? Mostly implies other possible inputs but the last part of that sentence specifically says this is confusing. Why is it hard to understand how ICE or Hybrid groups also had access to a bucket EVs mostly had access to?
In many (all?) cars with cellular modems you can remove the SIM card to have this effect.
How did "abstraction" and "hiding complexity" become perceived as such fundamental virtues in software development? There are actual virtues in that ballpark - reusable, reliable, flexible - but creating abstractions and hiding complexity does not necessarily lead to these virtues. Abstraction sounds no more virtuous to me than indirection.
To chime in, adding the espressif WiFi libraries to your firmware adds 500-600KB of code. In the trivial IoT widget I just made, the firmware is >90% espressif code by weight.

The RAM use is also... noticeable. It takes quite a lot for this chip do WiFi.

Crazy excerpt from the report:

> "On BPA in particular, just 10 years ago, the US EPA and the EU EFSA had the same limit. Then the EFSA lowered their limit several times, resulting in a 250,000x difference in the limits. But the EPA Iris site to this day says that, no, the limit they last revised in 1988 is still correct. This is an important difference if you want to interpret PlasticList results. Remember the Boba Guys tea that contains 1.2 years of safe BPA consumption according to the EFSA? According to the EPA, it’s well under the limit."

How the heck can the limits established by the EPA and EFSA vary up to 250,000x ??? That's several orders of magnitudes...

Really hoping this study blow up so more research gets funded. The testing is supposedly cheap and there's definitely enough public interest at this point.

Personally I welcome companies to try. I'll laugh all the way to the bank when they need to rehire all the talent they've laid off at a premium to fix the security holes and damage caused by LLMs. Assuming that they survive having their entire company ransacked in the first place.

It can be good if done well. The goal is not abstraction but understandability.

Any function call is abstraction after all. Unabstracted you would just inline that code or use goto.
You are mistaken in more ways than one.

You can't claim wage earners have received a good deal when they are unable to support themselves with basic necessities, let alone a wife and three children (required for risk managing 1 surviving to have children themselves). This is largely why we have a problem with birth rate today with the old crowding out all opportunities for the young.

The problem you mention doesn't really have to do with AI. It comes down to purchasing power in the economy, not wages, and business has shown over decades they will not or cannot be flexible when it comes to profit.

Additionally, money printing puts both parties at each others necks through debasement of the currency. When the currency debasement (inflation) exceeds profit legitimate business not tied to a money printer leaves the market (no competition is possible).

When the only entities left in some proposed market cooperate, the market isn't a market, its non-market socialism without the requirements for economic calculation. This fails.

Neither parties in my opinion are getting a reasonable deal. Whose to blame? The cohorts of people printing money from nothing that call themselves central bankers.
you're talking about humans, a civilization that cannot fully win the decades-long fight for one portable charging format, and proposing all governments get on the same page about their passports?

In short: good abstractions simplify by centralizing operational logic. But it's not until a certain scale where that option is more efficient from bespoke implementations.

Did you possibly reply to the wrong comment?

If not: I don’t think it’s a realistic goal, at least in a typical Western country, for a person with a young family and a full time job to manage to meet up with friends, who are not co-workers, almost every day.
They have a very different view of IP than the west. Sharing is the norm.
My friends and I joke about moving back to our home town to be together, possibly on the same block, mostly because of how cheap it would be. Truth is I have a lot of childhood and frankly recent trauma there and would never want to move back. Thankfully over time we’ve all seemed to be coincidentally landing in the same metro area over the years so we see each other a lot and it’s been a great way to bounce back from COVID.

Seems like unwise use of AI is creating a backlash. We should probably slow down the headlong rush until we can deploy this technology more wisely.
I’m reminded of Apple’s decade long new product lifecycle. They iterate, test, ruminate, repeat till they have finely polished technologies. Sometimes it just comes down to filing the rough edges off, sometimes a re-think is necessary.
If the car has enough signal to report, it has enough signal to get the key update. I don't see the problem.

Losing connection for extended periods of time can get in the way of "timely" key updates but they won't cause the encryption to fail.

> That's the back-end stuff. There's also the front-end stuff, like will my SO understand why her app isn't showing the car's location but mine is?

Well the reasons I can think of are either things like the server being broken, which can happen without any encryption, or she didn't finish setting up her app and waiting for it to sync which can also happen without encryption. Or she was removed from the list because she didn't open the app for a year... which can also happen without encryption.

That's not a disadvantage of LLM. You can start sending images from a camera moving around and you'll get many views as well. The capabilities here are the same as the eye-brain system - it can't move independently either.

I took 'could possibly' + reference to cell service to mean that there is some sort of technical/infrastructural limitation.
